> To any other east coasters: My Hiram Johnson who was born in Ohio supposedly had parents who moved there in the early 1800's (by 1822 for sure since that is when Hiram was born) from what a relative described as "back east somewhere". This g-g-aunt goes on that she thought his parents' names were Henry Johnson and Catherine Perry. Census records have Hiram saying his parents were from NY. They were blacksmiths or iron workers. Anything sound familiar to those of you with NY connections? Nancy Johnstone Ratay Denver, CO nratay@ng-tek.com

I recently received this information and thought anyone researching out of the country could use it. Hope it helps. BJ If you would like to obtain Birth, Death or Marriage Certificates from the date they commenced in 1837 we suggest you contact Abbots Technology. This is the cheapest and fastest way to obtain certificates from overseas and we have found them fast, reliable, accurate and trustworthy. Their web page can be found at: http://www.abbots.mcmail.com/ or email them at abbots@cwcom.net. An excellent series of tutorials on what can be found on those certificates can be found at: http://www.dixons.clara.co.uk/Certificates/indexbd.htm SCOTTISH AND IRISH RECORDS: An excellent resource for obtaining records from Scotland is General Records Office at http://www.open.gov.uk/gros/groshome.htm . It has a fully searchable index of Scottish birth and marriage records from 1553 to 1897, and death records from 1855 to 1897. It can be a bit difficult to use but well worth the effort. Please go to the FAQ section on it first. Searching for Irish records can be a daunting, but not a totally insurmountable task! Censuses of the whole island (of Ireland) were taken in 1821, 1831, 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1901 and 1911. The first four were largely destroyed in a fire in the Public Records Office (Four Courts) in 1922, some small parts of it do exist like our Antrim records. Those for 1861 and 1871 were destroyed by Government order! An excellent list of substitutes for these censuses can be found at http://www.rootsweb.com/~fianna/guide/cen2.html If you are looking for ancestors from Cork or Kerry you may be in luck! Dr. Albert E. Casey complied the 16 volume series of books called (and this is really the name of it!) O'Kief, Coshe Mang, Slieve Lougher and the Upper Blackwater in Ireland . It is the motherlode for those who seek persons from that area of Ireland! For more information about these books and a list of libraries that have it please see http://www.rootsweb.com/~irish/igsi_published/casey.htm

Does anyones line of JOHNSON come from Queen Victoria? Rumor has it my husbands line does. Thanks JoAnne mcritten@wanweb.net http://www.ndrsnet.com/diabetes-support

According to a newspaper article in the Dyersburg Mirror in 1973, Dyersburg, Tennessee, Thomas Johnson and his family moved to Dyer County from Virginia in the late 1840's. He and his wife had children named Mary, Betty, Neely, Claudious and Dick. There were probably more. Thomas Johnson is my gggrandfather and Neely Johnson is my ggrandfather. The 1850 Census shows Thomas Johnson's birthplace as North Carolina and he was born in 1812. I am trying to make a link with Thomas Johnson's family to Virginia and/or North Carolina. Has anyone done any research on their Johnson family showing this branch migrating to Tennessee? My problem is that Johnson is a common name and Thomas is the most common name it seems for men in our family. I am a novice at this and don't know how to find this link to the East Coast. Thank you, Ron Johnson
